Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 191 The Power of Justice Bao
After receiving the news, Huang Ze immediately started to take action.

There is no doubt that a photographer must have someone of his own.

As for Gu Changwei, it was difficult to find him, and he had to get the approval of Xi'an Film Studio, and his English was not very good, so Huang Ze decided to use Liu Weiqiang.

We have cooperated with each other several times and it goes smoothly. There is no need to change.

There is also Zhang Shuping, who is capable of makeup, costume design, and editing.

It is necessary to bring such a little all-rounder along.

Plus Quentin Tarantino as assistant director.

Well, that’s about it. I just need to bring a few more script supervisors who can speak English to make sure enough people hear what I say.

There is no need to bring everyone to Hollywood.

Lift this thing up slowly.

Moreover, "Pulp Fiction" is originally a film set in the United States. If it is to be filmed in the United States, there will be many things to communicate with local people and companies, so it is definitely more suitable for white people to do it.

Of course, Huang Ze didn't intend to go to Los Angeles immediately to prepare for "Pulp Fiction", and he stayed in Hong Kong Island for another week during this period.

He plans to spend more time with his family, draw storyboards, and wait for the broadcast results of "Justice Bao", for which he has high hopes.

The current "Justice Bao" has not yet been released, and the director is leading the crew in intensive filming.

Yes, everyone from the director to the leading actor didn’t know what the results would be, but they were still working overtime.

Because Huang Ze gave the order and set up a bonus, since the boss gave money, everyone was naturally motivated and just kept shooting.

Thanks to everyone's overtime work, the first three units have been edited and will be released on Monday.

Except for Huang Ze, both the crew members and Liang Shuyi were a little unsure.

After all, Hong Kong audiences like to watch films that are more entertaining, with handsome men and beautiful women. Who would like to watch a big black-faced man solving cases? There are also Peking Opera elements added, and there are not many popular stars among the actors.

It's simply written all over with bad luck from top to bottom.

However, considering the success of Huang Ze's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", everyone still retains a glimmer of hope deep in their hearts.

What if?
What if the audience doesn’t dislike such a drama too much?

What if the ratings are okay?
To the confusion of countless people, viewers discovered that ATV's prime-time program on Monday had been changed.

The audience is used to this kind of thing. If they can't beat the other party, they will just change the show. It is common for the show to have a bad ending.

Anyway, the last drama was just average.

Amid the melody of "thump thump thump," a black face with a crescent moon on its forehead appeared on the TV screen.

It was accompanied by a song with a hint of Peking Opera singing.

"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng."

"Impartial and impartial in distinguishing between loyalty and treachery."

"The heroes of the world are here to help."

"Wang Chao and Ma Han are around..."

The story begins with a woman bringing her son to Kaifeng Prefecture, looking for her husband Chen Shimei whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Her son calls out "Dad!" but Chen Shimei pretends not to know him.

The very beginning made the audience's blood pressure rise.

"Wow, what kind of person is this? He doesn't even recognize his own son. This man has a greasy face and powdered hair. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

"Isn't this Chen Shimei? He abandoned his wife and children in order to curry favor with the royal family. Later, he was beheaded by Bao Zheng. Why hasn't he been beheaded yet? Just behead him now."

"I want to see this pretty boy's head fall off!

"This is a good start!" In the villa, Gong Xing praised the child while holding him, then turned to look at Huang Ze, "Chen Shimei."

"Ahem, don't say this word to anyone, especially not to a man." Huang Ze took his son over, "I didn't abandon my wife and children."

"Even if I were Chen Shimei, it wouldn't be you who was abandoned. You are the princess."

"Besides, Chen Shimei is not a bad guy. His prototype is Chen Nian Gu from the Qing Dynasty, whose pen name was Shumei. He was an honest official who was cast in the play "Qin Xianglian" because he offended someone." "Is that so? How did you know?" Gong Xue asked.

"Anyway, I just know it." Huang Ze couldn't say that he saw it by posting it.

……

"Justice Bao" had a 30% audience share on the first day, which is a huge gap compared to TVB.

But it surprised everyone at ATV.

This is a very, very good start!
Everyone thought it was just 20%, normal performance.
It can actually be 30%.

It can reach 30% at the beginning, which is already a very good viewership rate.

If the 30% can be maintained unchanged, this drama can continue to be filmed.

Being able to occupy 30% of the prime time on weekdays, and with "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" sharing the same popularity with TVB on Saturdays, ATV can be said to have made a small comeback.

But apparently they were wrong.

I underestimated this drama which won the Hong Kong Island ratings championship for two consecutive years in its previous life and triggered the famous "Double Package Case".

The common people all have the hope of having a fair and just judge in their hearts.

Moreover, the story begins with the long-standing case of Chen Shimei, which is quite interesting.

Driven by the publicity from viewers who had watched the first episode the day before, the ratings rose rapidly and steadily.

The next day it reached 35%.

On the third day, 40% were achieved.

The ratings share for Friday night came out and it had reached fifty-one.

"Justice Bao" launched a blitzkrieg with lightning speed and quickly suppressed TVB before it could react.

For a moment, ATV employees felt a little confused.

This unscientific!

This is not true!

If "Justice Bao" can maintain this viewership rate, together with "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", doesn't it mean that except for Sundays, in the prime time, we are almost as good as TVB?

After digesting this information, Huang Ze's figure appeared in everyone's mind, and their admiration for him was beyond words.

so amazing!

There was no poaching or big moves, just two creative ideas, and the company stabbed TVB twice in a short period of time.

The knife in "Judge Bao" stabbed the blood vessel.

They have a feeling that with such a boss, the prime time slot is just the beginning, and sooner or later all time slots will be able to suppress TVB.

Let Wireless also experience how it felt a few years ago!

Unlike the ecstasy within ATV, the audience was going wild.

What, one episode a day and only broadcast on weekdays?

Saturday and Sunday are gone?
Aren't you guys so wicked? The show has reached its climax and they are about to behead Chen Shimei. Why do you make me wait for two days?

You guys at ATV please broadcast it for me quickly.

Two episodes a day from now on, two episodes every day!

A group of viewers almost blew up ATV’s hotline.

Liang Shuyi originally wanted to obey the audience and arrange to broadcast an episode of "Judge Bao" on Sunday, but thinking of how Huang Ze easily turned ATV around, she subconsciously wanted to seek Huang Ze's opinion and reported it to him over the phone.

"Mr. Huang, what should we do? Should we broadcast one more episode?"

"No." Huang Ze said firmly, "Let's follow the original plan. This thing requires a sense of anticipation. You can satisfy the audience so easily, so what about next time? If I ask you to broadcast three episodes a day, will you broadcast it? You can't get used to it!"
